11. Sliders: Use these sliders to adjust the independent volume level of each sound in your current kit. The sound's name is shown under the slider. 12. Note Chase: Press this button to activate or deactivate the Note Chase feature. When active, hitting a trigger will automatically select it in the drum module. This is useful for quickly making changes to multiple sounds on your kit, like selecting new instruments, editing voice parameters, etc. Alternatively, your Strike module's menus allow you to select the current trigger using the cursors and data dial. 13. Mixer: Press this button to enter Mixer Mode. 14. Sample: Press this button to enter Sample Edit Mode. This requires you to have an SD card inserted into the Strike module's SD card slot. If your SD card doesn't already have any WAV files, pressing this button will enter Sample Record Mode. 15. Utility: Press this button to show the Utility menu. 16. Save: Press this button to save the current kit or global settings (depending on the current mode). When you're in Kit Mode, pressing this button allows you to name/rename and save the current kit to your SD card. When you're in Trigger Mode or the Utility menu, pressing this button allows you to save all of your current trigger, metronome, and global MIDI settings. 17. Edit > Kit FX: Press this button to enter Kit Effects Mode where you can set the reverb and other effects for each kit. 18. Edit > Voice: Press this button to enter Voice Mode where you can edit the assigned instruments, reverb/FX Amount, MIDI output, and other settings for each drum or cymbal pad. 19. Edit > Triggers: Press this button to enter Trigger Mode where you can adjust the sensitivity and overall feel of each drum or cymbal pad. Strike's default settings are optimized for a wide range of playing styles and kit configurations. While trigger settings normally don't need any adjustment, you can still adjust the sensitivity of your triggers here. 20. Metro > On/Off: Press this button to turn the metronome on or off. Metronome settings can be found in the Utility menu, in the Metro tab. 21. Metro > Tempo: Press this button 3 or more times in succession at the desired rate to change the tempo of the metronome (in BPM). Alternatively, you can press and hold this button and turn the data dial to change the BPM. The light above this button will flash at the current tempo. 22. Transport Buttons: Use these buttons to control sample playback. These buttons work even when the drum module is not in Sample Mode. • Rewind/Fast-Forward ( / ): Press and hold one of these buttons to "scrub" backward or forward (respectively) through the sample. • Play ( ): Press this button to start sample playback or recording. • Stop (): Press this button to stop sample playback or recording. • Record (): Press this button to show the Sample Record screen.
